They have slowed cars down in our neighborhood for sure. Not everything but it’s part of the solution and bike lanes, and cameras and noise cameras and raised side walks etc etc… feels like lots of small things make the big difference, over time.

Speed cameras yeah… you don’t have the right to go 90MPH in a neighborhood filled with schools. Besides, more cameras = fewer police stopping people for “suspicious” activity…

Um, so you're saying that there is a legitimate problem in Providence with people thinking that they have a right to go 90 mph through a neighborhood filled with schools?

Ah yes, the ole "more cameras = less police" argument. Because no police state ever had tons of cameras all over the place.

There is a problem in my neighborhood with people going 90MPH in residential areas yes.

Point taken about the police state. But I also favor ending the War on Drugs and LEOBOR and several other key criminal justice reforms. I think we can have eclectic points of view. In fact I think most people do and rarely fit into a neat little box. Thanks!
